az was only young subaltern, when
the war broke out, butt was a thorough
artillery tactician. My highest ambi-
ton was to have light battery of my
own, and l had no difficulty in secur-
ing light battery of New York volun-
teer artillery 1t was splendidly
equipped. There were six ten-pound
Parrot guns and twelve as fine horses
for guns and caissons as ever went into
the field. The men were so green that
they did not know the muzZle of piece
from the breech, and the horses were
fresh from the farms, many of them not
even broken to harness. l at once com.
menced drilling my new command, and
in an Incredibly short time it was pro-
nounced ready by the chief of artillery
for active service in the field. That
battery became my pride, and its prof.
cheney in maneuvering do not believe
was ever excelled. / believed then,
and still think, that there is not pref
tier military command than a light ar
tillery.
1T was the first battery that had
ever drilled from its inception. l soon
found that the horses learned sooner
than the men, This was especially the
case respecting the bugle-calls. just
as with the men, too, some of the horses
learned faster than others. Some of
them had better ears for music, too;
and, while there were those who would
obey any bugle-call after executing the
maneuver few times, others, just like
the men, would never learn the mean
inc of the notes. The most proficient
horses were always placed in the lead.
More than once | have dismOunted the
men, and then with the bugle put the
battery through the most intricate man
euvers, such as counter-marching at
close intervals at a gallop without a
rider on the horses. had also taught
the two lead teams something not con-
tanned in the tactics, that was to lie
down i'm the traces at certain bugle-
call This little trick saved my guns at
the battle of Fair Oaks, on the 31st day
of Nav, 1862. The)lead teams had been
ordered to lie down as soon as the firing
began. The enemy's fire was high, but
not far enough above them to save the
pole teams. They were struck down,
but when we were forced to leave the
field there were enough of lead horses
to pull the guns off. All through that
terrible sheet of flame and lead thosa
horses lay down, not very quietly, of
course, and when the bugle-call sounded
close to their ears, SO as to be heard
above the din of battle, they sprang up
to their feet, and. many of them rider
less, executed the order to timber up
and retreat. "-LouisUiLLe Coxrter-JOatr-

40, yes, drugs have come down in
price a great<-deal in the last year
or two,' said an uptown dispenser
of health-restoring compounds as he
glanced sadly at the price list in front
of his door. 1.-THE bottom has fallen
out of every thing. Not only standard
drugs but proprietary medicines have
been so reduced in price that there is
scarcely any profit left in the business.
Medicines that we used to get 1925 for
now sell for Is cents; dollar medicines
go for so or 65 cents; 25-cent COM
pounds for Is cents, and so on.
-.Of course that's all right for the
public, but how about usp Nobody
stops TO think that besides supplying
drugs and medicines, saving lives at all
hours of the night, spreading health
broadcast by dispensing pure soda
water and other things for which we
get some little return, we are an indis-
pensable public convenience in ways
that never bring us cent of profit.
For instance, here and everywhere
else, except down town, every body
who waits for street car waits for
it in a drug store. Everybody who
wants to borrow newspaper or
get a light for a cigar, or look at a direc-
tory, or use a telephone, or inquire
about the family who moved away
from the house three blocks away year
before last, or put up a free advertise
ment, or write postal card, goes
straight for drug store. Then look at
the people who save doctors bills.
They come in here, describe their symp-
toms, tell how sick they are and want
to know what to do about it. We tell
them to soak their feet, wear wooden
socks, and take dose of salts or what
ever else they need, and they thank us
and buy a postage stamp. Why I've
spent half an hour at time telling a
man what to do for sore throat or govt,
and then seen him go away without
spending a cent This sort of thing
goes on all the time. We are con-
tinually giving people information, adj
vice and all kinds of accommodation.
It's little tough to run that sort of
charitable institution on a profit of
eight cents on every dollar bottle of
medicine you sell. It's no wonder we
make the sarsaparilla sirup for the soda
water fountain by shaking an empty
sarsaparilla bottle over a bucket of
water We would be justified in doing
worse things than that, | think. ~.
